Patient Experience
Had my gallbladder out last month. The surgery itself is a blur, but I remember Dr. Shekade checking on me that evening. He didn't just write a prescription and leave; he actually explained what the pain would feel like as I healed and when to worry. The nurses followed his plan exactly. It made those first few rough days a lot less scary because I knew what was normal.
I've been seeing Dr. Shekade for my diabetes and hypertension for about eight years now. What I appreciate is that he remembers me, remembers my history without having to dig through the file for five minutes. His approach is steadyno drastic, fad changes, just consistent, sensible adjustments. That kind of reliability is hard to find. You build trust over time, and he's earned mine.
Needed a general check-up and got referred to Dr. Shekade at Lilavati. Straight shooter. Listened to my concerns, asked good questions, and gave me a clear plan without any fluff or scare tactics. Parking at the hospital is always a nightmare, but the appointment itself was efficient and helpful.
I went in for what I thought was just persistent heartburn. Dr. Shekade listened, but he didn't stop there. He asked about my stress levels at work, my diet, even my sleep patternthings I wouldn't have connected. He ordered a few tests just to be thorough, and it turned out to be a mild gastric issue, not my heart. The way he pieced it together felt like detective work. He called me himself with the results instead of having a secretary do it, which really put my mind at ease. It was more than just writing a script; he actually solved the puzzle.
